She's not the shooter. I almost guarantee it was Anton. Anton is shorter than Lithgow and they only established it wasn't somebody that was as tall as the Trinity Killer, even if he was kneeling. So, it could still be Anton standing or kneeling having shot them. It makes no sense at all for it to be the reporter - why would she risk targetting two law enforcement people anway and why them when all the other victims were tourists and normal joes?
Nah Jawbreaking, Masuka definitely said the shooter was his height, not just that the shooter was shorter than Trinity. Who on the show is Masuka's height?
I'm still not convinced it's the reporter but she definitely comes forward as a likely suspect now. It's obvoius she's under pressure for a big story to keep her career afloat. So maybe she is cracked in the head enough to shoot some cops in order to get that story. She's gung ho after Deb for an interview so maybe that's why she simply injured her. Plus this has nothing to do with the Tourist killers. That chick already confessed to thos but insisted she didn't shoot Deb and Lundy. Sure it could be Anton but like TheSleeper said, he is definitely taller than Masuka. If it was him though, would he have had the presence of mind to kneel to shoot them? I'm not so sure. But if we are talking about kneeling, then it could still have been Trinity. Even though this is a big clue I don't think it gets us any closer to really knowing who did it.
I to suspect that the shooter is the tiny hot reporter, mainly because she is the only established character from this season thats Masuka's height and the hard up for a story thing works even if it is a little lame. But i could be wrong and its just that they havent introduced the killer.
Oh ho! So I'm not crazy after all with thinking that something is up with the reporter? YAY! Here I was, thinking I was losing my mind.
Although Anton could still be a possibility, I think he was taller than Masuka and I possibly around Lundy's height. I know he was taller than Debb, so the only way he could have possibly been the shooter and inflict the wounds like he did is based off of whether he was kneeling or not. But like Masuka said, most average shooters don't kneel when they shoot and like Debb said, Lundy would more than likely react differently to someone kneeling.....
.....which once again leads me to the reporter. She seems extremely hard-up for getting that story that will skyrocket her career. And if she's crazy enough, which I think she is, she probably shot Debb and Lundy to set in motion something that could get her career to really take off. A heroic story on the cop that lived? I think that would do enough justice to get a reporters career to really get going.
But it's not set in stone that she was the killer, but I think the chances are pretty good.
A buddy of mine told me he thinks the shooter could somehow be Trinity's wife. That never even crossed my mind but I like it. I think she's more likely than their son at least. A wife and husband killer duo. Maybe that would get Dexter to somehow reveal himself to Rita in the future. It's a crazy hypotheses but one never knows.
As far as the writers not having introduced the shooter to us yet is highly unlikely. It would be lame if it was some random character that shot them. It would take away all the suspense that they are building up to the eventual reveal. It's defniitely someone we have seen and most likely someone we don't expect. Someone will be right though seeing as between the reporter, Anton, Trinity, his wife, and his son, we seemingly have all the bases covered.
What possible motive does the reporter have? She has no real connection to Debra or Lundy.
Skroin, I`ll be the first to admit I thought you were crazy with the reporter theory but after that episode it is possible. The only problem to me is the motive. Why would she shoot Lundy and Deb? I guess maybe she could have shot them to fuel her own ambition as a reporter, sort of creating the news on which to report but even that sounds a little far fetched considering its Miami and murders and crime happen there everyday. They aren't exactly short on new worthy stories. She could also just be serious nut job. There is no shortage of them in Dexter's world.
The idea that it could have been Trinity's son is fantastic. His son may have found out what his father does on his off time and learning that Lundy was after him, decided to help out his father. It might have been his first foray into murder which would explain why Deb survived. The son is about Masuka's height.
I really like how they seem be moving in a direction where another of Dexter's co workers are beginning to have suspicions about his behavior. Although, Dexrter technically didn't kill the last cop, he might have to eventually get rid of Flynn.
I actually like the situation with the neighbor because if anything comes of it, we'll get a chance to see how Dexter will react. He's never been in that situation and he can't really kill the guy because of his code. He messed up last week, but he'll never fully abandon his code.

Well, I tip my hat to those of you who suspected the reporter.
Masuka is the shortest guy on the show. Deb and Lundy's shooter was Masuka's height. So unless the shooter was standing in a hole in the ground, it can't have been Trinity, or Deb's ex-boyfriend, 'cause he was pretty frickin' tall.
It's got to be the reporter. Though why she's the shooter I have no idea.
